- I have been doing some searching and found a few backup batteries that fit my criteria. I just wanted to make sure I found them all so I know all my choices before I make a decision.
requirements:
1. Charge 2 iphones at same time. (If it can charge an iPhone and iPad thats better but not necessary)
2. Is a portable backup battery.
3. Smaller is better but will look at them all.
Found so far:
zaggsparq 2.0
Schoche goBat II
Richard Solo USB power station
xtrememac incharge portable
iSound Portable Power Max
I was originally looking for a dual charge solution for travel since I usually need to charge my wifes and my phone at the same time but found the backup battery versions and thought that, that was a better way to go.
I originally was looking at the griffin powerblock or belkin mini surge. and might still if none of the dual charge backup batteries are any good.
I couldn't find any reviews on most of them except the zagg which everybody says is awful. The iSound is to big for me but figured I would post it incase somebody else might like it. I liked the look of xtememac but not a fan of there quality and the fact that the plug snaps on and off and doesn't fold down of easy storage. I actually liked the look and size of the zagg and the fact that the plug was part of the unit, so I wouldn't need a third cable( and if anybody knows of a similar but better quality product that would be great.) Otherwise unless there is no other solutions I am looking at the solo or scosche depending on any reviews/info I can find.
Thanks.Last edited by K12yp70n173; 04-22-2011 at 02:04 PM.

I am hoping that the zagg has fixed any quality control problems they had with there charger as that one fits my needs best. Thanks for the help.04-24-2011 05:08 PMLike 0
- I have a Zagg from the first batch they made. It loses the charge pretty quickly after charging going from 4 lights to 3 lights. It does recharge but I don't have a lot of confidence in it.
I got the New Trent IMP 1000 which is 11000 mAh and am extremely happy with it. I rarely have to charge it, and it performs like a champ. They have a dual external battery charger that is the IMP 50D that is 5000 mAh. I believe they also sell it on Amazon so you can check the reviews.
I have spoken with them on the phone and they are nice to deal with.

I even got another one so I can take one with me, and have one around the house.04-25-2011 12:44 PMLike 0
